  The road to monetize those players and to make let’s say $2M net would be a huge pain in the ass. I would also have just sold and moved on to the fun part of a new project

  I enjoy Wordle specifically because it's zero friction to play (aka there are no ads, no signup, no popups, no nags to subscribe for "$1 a week") - which of course will be the first thing NYTimes adds. Real bummer, I enjoyed the collective experience of sharing the emoji square badges with friends in group chats. It was a fun daily challenge that anybody could hop in on at any time.
